possible, easy and desirable.  We should do that IMHO.

They still have %changelog at the bottom of each spec file, but as the last line of the file. The actual changelog is stored as a separate .changes file. That's a *lot* better than what Fedora does now, because it makes it way easier to scroll through the spec file. But getting rid of the changelog entirely would be even nicer. :)

changelogs often include CVE information, especially useful when the fixes are backported rather than included as part of the regular update/release process.

How could the CVE info be available in the absence of changelogs?
